“I am very happy that Dan has accepted the chairmanship position,” said Ken Kruly, ECFSA’s Finance Committee chair. “He has shown the kind of commitment and leadership this board and this community need. We are looking forward to working with the county to improve its financial condition under Dan’s leadership.”

Oliverio said, “I want to thank the governor for this appointment. I look forward to working with the board and with county officials on behalf of the residents and taxpayers of Erie County.”

The ECFSA was created in 2005 by then-Governor George Pataki in the wake of Erie County’s financial crisis. The seven-member board oversees the county’s finances.
